Yumemi Okazaki (岡崎 夢美 Okazaki Yumemi) is a college professor searching for the mysterious power of magic so that she can study it and bring her findings back to the scientific community. When she arrives in Gensokyo, her ship, the Probability Space Hypervessel, is mistaken for some ordinary ruins by the inhabitants. She attempts to kidnap the heroine to use her as a research subject, but is ultimately defeated and sent home empty-handed. Yumemi is unfamiliar with both the magical and religious matters of Gensokyo, so she refers to Reimu Hakurei's power as magic, even when Reimu insists that it's actually divine power.
It is implied that her world of origin may not be the outside world as we know it, due to her profile and that of Chiyuri's, which suggests that a grand unified theory has been established, and there are 13 year-olds graduating from graduate school. Of note, however, is that in Magical Astronomy, which takes place in the future of the outside world, Maribel mentions that gravity was unified with the other forces recently, which could mean the grand unified theory has been established in the outside world.

Name[]
Her full name is Yumemi Okazaki (岡崎 夢美). "Yumemi" means "beautiful dream", and "Okazaki" is a common Japanese surname meaning "mountain".
Her name may be inspired from not one, or two, but three characters - Yumimi Yoshizawa (Yumimi Mix), Sayori Okajima (Sayori na Parallel) and Marian Ezaki (Apple Paradise). Additionally, her last name may be a reference to Japanese biologist Reiji Okazaki, or the Okazaki Enzyme.
Design[]
Yumemi's design shows that she has red eyes and dark red hair, with a matching dark red cape, vest, cloth shoulders and skirt. She also has a white shirt and bright red bow tie. Her alternate outfit is the same, except her hair is blond and her eyes are yellow, her dress and cape is black with purple trimmings on her dress and the cloths on her shoulders as well. Her cape has a red trim and her bow is red, but when she is casting a special attack, her bow tie is purple instead.
Appearances[]
Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream[]
In Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream, she is the final enemy the player encounters. Because Chiyuri was spreading misinformation, Yumemi promises to grant the player a wish should they win, both out of confidence and apologies for her assistant's behavior. When she loses, she nearly pulls out a bomb powerful enough to destroy the entire world, but is stopped by Chiyuri. She then proceeds to grant the player's wish.
In Yumemi's own story, after successfully defeating all other opponents, she comes inside the Probability Space Hypervessel, only to almost be attacked by Chiyuri; after reprimanding her for this, they are then approached by a third individual -- a clone of Yumemi created by Chiyuri while she was messing with the ship's controls. After punishing Chiyuri again, Yumemi then engages in a battle for superiority with her clone that she wins.
After all the events of Phantasmagoria of Dim.Dream have ended, Yumemi is kicked out of the university she taught at for presenting a theory of magic. Yumemi and Chiyuri then return to Gensokyo, and it is implied that they are still there.
